This is more Cab Franc-y than the 2020, which I praised for its youthful exuberance. Darker flavors here, with black cherry, blackberry, and clay. Refined tannins and good structure. Bit of cedar on the finish. Still more vivacious than other Loire Cab Francs, to its credit.

Consistent with notes 20 months ago. Nice and stinky and funky on opening, it ultimately opens up into a candied, juicy, drinkable quaffer. Perfect with mixed grill leftovers. Drink 2023-2028. Technical score: 90. Enjoyment score: 92.

Varm, lite örtig doft med grön paprika och lagård. Frukten drar åt mörka bär och plommon. Kryddig, sandelträ och kanel. Mjuk i munnen, med snälla tanniner, bra syra och fin längd.

Floral nose of lavender, cherry oak, forest floor. Good sweet dark cherries mixed with green pepper and mushrooms on the palate. Finish is short and puckery. Drink 2021-2028
